Greening Greenpoint and Newtown Creek Alliance partnered up for a second stewardship event in June to help out some trees on Norman Ave. in Greenpoint's industrial area. Volunteers stewarded 5 tree beds along Norman and got a tour of Kingsland Wildflowers native green roof! Check out the slideshow below to see what we pulled out of the tree beds and the incredible views from the green roof!

Adding mulch to the weeded and cultivated tree bed helps retain moisture in the soil during the hot summer months

This project is made possible with funding provided by the Office of the New York State Attorney General and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation through the Greenpoint Community Environmental Fund.
